Deployment Environment

Download code

   git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/DEEPX-AI/dx-all-suite.git

Compile and install drivers

   # Before compiling, you need to install Linux Headers on your device. Please refer to https://wiki.t-firefly.com/en/Firefly-Linux-Guide/first_use.html#linux-headers
   cd /dx-all-suite/dx-runtime/dx_rt_npu_linux_driver/modules/
   ./build.sh -d m1
   ./build.sh -d m1 -c install

   # After installation, you can see dxrt_driver using lsmod.
   lsmod

Install dx_rt

   cd ./dx-all-suite/dx-runtime/dx_rt
   ./install.sh --all
   ./build.sh --install /usr/local
   sudo cp ./service/dxrt.service /etc/systemd/system
   sudo systemctl start dxrt.service
   sudo systemctl enable dxrt.service
   cd python_package
   pip3 install .
   reboot

   # After installation, you can check the DX-M1 status using commands.
   dxrt-cli -s

Upgrade Firmware

   # The firmware on the DX-M1 may be incompatible with the current SDK. You can update the firmware corresponding to the SDK first.
   cd ~/dx-all-suite/dx-runtime/dx_fw
   dxrt-cli -u ./m1/latest/mdot2/fw.bin

Test

   # Download the pre-compiled model from https://developer.deepx.ai/article/modelzoo/ ,This test uses the YoloV5S model

   # run_model is benchmark tool.
   run_model -m ./YoloV5S.dxnn -b -l 100 -v
